YOUNG DAD’S CANCER BATTLE 

‘I can’t give up, I just want 

to see my kids grow up’ 

• By Daniel Alvey 

TIME IS fast running out for 

Dan Morbey as the 36-year-old 

battles stage four bowel cancer. 

The father of two young 

children was recently given 

a prognosis of three-tosix 

months to live by his 

specialists. He and his family 

are hoping a Givealittle page 

will help raise critical funds for 

treatment options. 

The family – Morbey and 

partner Sarah Noble along 

with Dylan, 4, and Alyssa, 2 – 

found out Morbey had cancer 

in September last year, but it 

wasn’t until December they 

received the full diagnosis. 

“Total shock” was the 

family’s reaction when they 

learned Morbey had been 

diagnosed with Metastatic 

Cecal Adenocarcinoma with 

Peritoneal Disease, stage four 

bowel cancer. 

“I think we were in shock for 

three or four weeks,” Noble said. 

At the time of the diagnosis, 

his specialist told Morbey 

his cancer was incurable, 

with no option for surgery, 

chemotherapy or radiation 

because of how far the cancer 

had spread.

Brummie Dan’s fight to beat cancer 

• From page 1 

However, using the funds 

raised, the family is trying to get 

as much equipment as they can 

to help Morbey’s treatment. 

“Overseas they have cancer 

treatment centres, and we are 

trying to create one in our home, 

so we are buying things like 

infrared sauna blankets, red 

light therapy and ozone therapy,” 

Morbey said. 

The equipment needed can 

cost thousands of dollars. For 

example, for an infrared sauna 

blanket, which can relieve stress, 

help with joint pain, lower 

blood pressure and improve 

circulation, prices can range 

anywhere from a few hundred to 

thousands of dollars. 

“We have to make radical 

changes and can’t just hope,” 

Noble said. 

So far, they have used about 

$20,000 of the $24,000 raised to 

cover extra tests and treatments 

that are not funded and to pay 

for a trip for them to return to 

the UK for Morbey to see his 

family in May. 

Morbey was just about to get 

his food truck business off the 

ground, which he had been 

struggling with for three years 

with ongoing Covid restrictions. 

He had also set up a food truck 

market in Rolleston, which 

was tracking well. Both were 

expected to take off in summer, 

but never had the opportunity. 

“My career as a food truck 

vendor never really got a 

chance,” he said. 

Morbey, originally from 

Birmingham in the United 

Kingdom, met Noble when she 

was on her OE and decided to 

follow her back to New Zealand 

in 2017, moving around the 

country and eventually settling 

in Rolleston as renters at the end 

of 2021. 

Noble has also had to give up 

her job to become a full-time 

carer for Morbey as his condition 

worsens, and to look after the 

kids. 

“Up until six weeks ago I 

was able to help out around the 

house and do the cleaning and 

groceries, but now I’m just too 

tired,” Morbey said. 

“It can be mentally challenging 

for me not to be able to play with 

my kids. 

“I also have to watch out when 

they get sick to make sure they 

don’t pass it on, a cold he (Dylan) 

brought home put me on my arse 

for two weeks.” 

While the family is receiving 

some support, they feel that the 

system has failed with them 

having to battle for extra 

care. 

“When I injured my back, I got 

more support from ACC than I 

do now I have stage four cancer,” 

Morbey said. 

“I think it should be easier 

for people in my position that 

once you’re diagnosed it starts a 

process of support.” 

Said Noble: “It just adds 

stress.” 

The couple said they are 

incredibly grateful for all 

the support from the local 

community, such as dropping off 

meals or mowing lawns for free. 

“Every little bit helps make a 

difference,” Noble said.

We’re planning for our 

growing city

ccc.govt.nz/growingcity 

Christchurch’s housing and business development rules are changing 

Ōtautahi Christchurch’s population is growing. Over the next 30 years, it’s predicted we’ll need more than 40,000 

new houses to ensure everyone has a place to live, and Christchurch City Council is planning for that now. 

Our growth challenge 

We need to provide for the growth of housing and 

business in the best locations in Christchurch, to 

help address issues like climate change and housing 

shortage. This means more houses where there’s good 

access to shops, services, work, school, public transport 

networks and infrastructure. 

Where there’s good reason, we also need to ensure 

development remains restricted or limited to protect 

and maintain areas of value. 

These changes won’t happen overnight. Over time the 

look and feel of the city will change, and we want to plan 

for that and keep what people value. 

A new direction in urban planning 

The planning rules have changed for New Zealand’s main urban areas. We need to 

follow the new national direction to allow greater housing and business development 

within Christchurch’s existing urban footprint. 

There are new national standards for multi-unit housing developments called the 

Medium-Density Residential Standards (MDRS). These aim to make it easier for denser 

housing developments to happen. Once they come into effect, up to three dwellings 

of up to three storeys can be developed on a property in Christchurch without needing 

to apply for a resource consent, as long as all other rules have been met. 

Not all parts of Christchurch are suitable for the MDRS, so we’re proposing special 

rules, called Qualifying Matters, apply to recognise heritage and cultural features, to 

protect major utility, infrastructure, and people in areas vulnerable to natural hazards, 

among other things. 

What we’re proposing 

We’re proposing important changes to the city’s planning rulebook, the District Plan, via two plan changes – the Housing and Business Choice 

Plan Change (Plan Change 14), and the Heritage Plan Change (Plan Change 13). Both plan changes were formally notified on 17 March 2023. 

Replacing some existing residential zones in 

the city with two new ones – a Medium-Density 

Residential Zone and a High-Density Residential 

Zone. The Medium-Density zone is the baseline for 

increasing housing in our city. The High-Density 

zone would allow apartment buildings and multistorey 

flats in the central city. 

Increased height limits for residential and 

commercial buildings in and around the 

central city, suburban centres and along public 

transport routes, as well as enabling residential 

development in some industrial areas around the 

central city and larger suburban centres. 

Special rules (Qualifying Matters) to limit greater 

development of housing and business under 

the MDRS, in order to better reflect our city’s 

environment and climate. One proposes changing 

recession planes to increase sunlight access from 

what would be possible under the MDRS. This 

applies citywide and means the MDRS won’t come 

into effect for Christchurch until 2024, when Plan 

Change 14 is decided on. 

Heritage that should be protected, with a number 

of new buildings, items and interiors added to 

the Schedule of Significant Historic Heritage. 

Have your say on our growing city 

You can make a submission on the Housing and Business Choice Plan Change (Plan Change 14) and Heritage Plan 

Change (Plan Change 13) until 3 May 2023. Detailed information about the plan changes and everything you 

need to make your submission is available at ccc.govt.nz/growingcity


Dan’s dilemma as milestone looms 

• By Jaime Cunningham 

SUMNER CRICKET veteran 

Dan Vann faces a dilemma this 

weekend. 

He is three wickets away from 

reaching a milestone of 500 for 

the club. But his team needs to 

bat the majority of Saturday’s 

match against Lancaster Park to 

avoid relegation to division 1 next 

season. 

That means he may not get 

much chance to bowl in the last 

game of the season, and to complicate 

matters, the 39-year-old 

may not return next season. 

He is thinking of playing less 

cricket next season, and filling 

in for the club’s top side when 

needed. 

The humble club man – who 

is more than just a bowler – says 

Saturday’s focus is on the team’s 

result, not him. Vann is also the 

team’s player-coach, vice-captain, 

the club captain, and in charge of 

the side’s gear. 

“If we can win or draw this 

week, we don’t get relegated,” 

Vann said. 

“Ideally we’ll bat for most of 

the day, but hopefully I can get 

some overs in later in the day.” 

He didn’t bowl any overs last 

week, but said this was due 

to the tidy efforts by Nawid 

Mohammady (4/38), Ben Hall 

(2/7) and Boston Fielding (2/17) – 

not because he was injured. 

Going into the last week of the 

season, Sumner are 8/1 in their 

second innings against Lancaster 

Park, after they were bowled 

out for 168. Lancaster Park only 

managed 108 runs, and face a 

season in division 1 if they 

are unable to chase Sumner’s 

total. 

If Vann can reach the 500 

wicket milestone on Saturday he 

will be finishing a memorable 

season on a high note. He 

brought up 400 appearances 

for the club in October, and 

has played for Sumner’s 

championship and senior A 

sides since making his debut in 

2002. 

He is also the club’s highestever 

wicket taker. 

Vann said playing, running 

his cricket coaching business 

and teaching physical education 

part-time at Chisnallwood 

Intermediate has become too 

much to balance next season. 

The life member first started 

playing for Sumner as a 17-yearold 

student at Linwood College 

(now Te Aratai College), and 22 

years later, is a prominent name 

in club records. 

As well as leading wicket taker, 

Vann has also made the secondmost 

appearances for Sumner 

after Ray Steele’s 428. 

He has taken five wickets and

nearing his 500th 

career wicket for 

Sumner, but his 

chances could 

be limited in 

the last game of 

the season on 

Saturday. 

scored a century on the same day 

for Sumner, and has career-best 

figures of 6/6. 

“I started off quite low down 

the batting order and not 

bowling heaps when I first 

started, and it wasn’t until I was 

21 that I was making some runs 

and getting wickets,” he said. 

“It took a while.” 

Sumner will continue the 

second day of their last match 

this season at St Albans Park 

from 10.30am on Saturday. 

Geek eases technology woes with free clinic 

A FREE monthly service 

facilitated by Citizens Advice 

Bureau Christchurch area has 

been helping the community 

with their tech troubles. 

Run by Weonsuk Lee from 

Geeks on Wheels for over a year, 

the free help clinic is available on 

the last Wednesday of the month, 

from 1-2pm at the Salvation 

Army building on Colombo St 

in Sydenham. No appointment is 

needed. 

Lee helps people with a range 

of issues, from smartphone setups 

and account issues to faulty 

laptops. He said running the help 

sessions has been rewarding and 

each clinic brings different people 

with unique tech issues. 

“It always feels good to help 

someone and make their life a 

little easier,” said Lee. 

CAB Christchurch area 

manager Kate Verpoorten said 

they see many clients who are 

facing access barriers to services, 

one of the reasons for this being 

digital exclusion. 

“Last year over 140 clients 

identified that they were digitally 

excluded. Many of these were due 

to a lack of confidence in using 

technology,” she said. 

The clinics are a great resource 

for those less confident with 

technology. 

“Clinics such as these provide 

a pathway to help these people 

without cost,” Verpoorten said.

Mix it up with tasty vegetarian dinners 

Nutritional therapist 

Amelia Freer’s new 

book The Organised 

Cook not only has 

recipes but also plenty 

of advice and practical 

tips to turn people 

from frazzled and 

frustrated into calm 

and organised in the 

kitchen 

One-pot green dahl 

This is a one-pot wonder that 

we often make for Sunday night 

dinner at our house. Nourishing 

and wholesome, it really sets 

us up for the week ahead. I’ve 

added extra greens here with 

some Swiss chard, but you could 

easily swap this for spinach, 

beet leaves or even a couple of 

handfuls of peas, if that’s what 

you have to hand. Gluten free, 

dairy free, vegan/vegetarian. 

Serves 4 

Ingredients 

1 shallot or ½ medium white 

onion, sliced 

1 Tbsp coconut oil or mild olive 

oil 

1 large piece of fresh root ginger 

(about 3cm), peeled and grated 

2 cloves garlic, grated 

1 green chilli, deseeded and 

chopped 

1 tsp mustard seeds 

1 tsp ground coriander 

1 tsp ground cumin 

1 tsp ground turmeric 

300g dried black/brown lentils 

1 × 400ml tin of coconut milk 

200g Swiss chard, washed and 

roughly chopped 

Natural or dairy-free yoghurt, 

to serve (optional) 

Fresh coriander, chopped 

Directions 

In a shallow saucepan, fry the 

shallot or onion in the coconut 

or olive oil over a medium heat 

for 5 minutes, until it starts to 

soften and caramelise, stirring 

occasionally. 

Add the ginger, garlic and 

chilli and all of the spices, and 

fry for another 5 minutes, stirring 

often. 

Mix in the lentils, coconut 

milk and 650ml water. 

Bring to the boil, reduce the 

heat and simmer for about 40–50 

minutes, stirring occasionally, 

until the lentils are soft and the 

water absorbed. Add the Swiss 

chard and cook for 5 minutes, 

until wilted. 

Season to taste with salt 

and pepper. Serve warm with 

a little yoghurt (or dairy-free 

alternative) swirled through, 

if you fancy, and coriander 

sprinkled on top. 

Best black bean burger 

This is definitely the best bean 

burger I have made and I’ve 

made a lot. The recipe was 

inspired by a wonderful bean 

burger on Sally’s Baking 

Addiction blog, but I’ve reduced 

the number of ingredients. 

Vegetarian, gluten free. 

Makes 4 

Ingredients 

2 × 400g tins of black beans, 

drained and rinsed 

1 Tbsp olive oil, plus extra for 

drizzling 

½ red pepper, deseeded and 


1 shallot or small onion, 


220g mushrooms, roughly 

chopped 

2 cloves garlic, crushed 

1½ tsp ground cumin 

½ tsp sweet smoked paprika 

½ tsp dried mixed herbs 

65g breadcrumbs (use glutenfree, 

if necessary) 

80g feta, crumbled 

1 large free-range egg 

1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce 

Directions 

Preheat the oven to 150degC 

fan/170degC. 

Spread the drained beans on 

a baking tray and bake for 15 

minutes until slightly dried out. 

(This is important.) Add the oil 

to a medium-large saucepan 

over a medium-high heat. Add 

the pepper, shallot or onion, 

mushrooms, garlic, cumin, 

paprika and mixed herbs and 

saute for around 8 minutes until 

soft. Remove from the heat and 

set aside to cool a little. 

Place the sauteed vegetables 

and all the remaining 

ingredients, including a good 

pinch of salt and grind of pepper, 

in a large food processor and 

pulse until combined, leaving 

some larger chunks. 

Using wet hands (as it helps 

prevent the mixture sticking), 

shape the mixture into 6 patties 

(each roughly 8–10cm). Line 

a baking tray with parchment 

paper and place the patties on 

top. Put the tray in the fridge 

for a couple of hours, to help the 

patties stick together. 

Preheat the grill to a medium 

heat or the oven to 190degC fan 

210degC. 

If grilling, drizzle a little 

olive oil over the patties and 

place them under the grill for 8 

minutes. Turn them over, then 

grill for 4 minutes on the other 

side, checking every few minutes 

as every grill is different. They 

should look a little golden. 

If baking, drizzle a little olive 

oil over the patties, then bake in 

the oven for 10 minutes. 

Flip them over and bake for a 

further 10 minutes. 

–ODT 

Do you suffer from 

dizziness, vertigo or BPPV? 

These issues can be treated with vestibular 

physiotherapy. 

Vestibular rehabilitation therapy is a specialised 

form of therapy, in which physiotherapists 

work to improve symptoms of dizziness and the 

balance problems that can occur with vestibular 

dysfunction. Balance problems and dizziness can 

all be treated very effectively. 

Our team of experienced physiotherapists 

have all completed internationally recognised 

competency courses in Vestibular Rehabilitation.
